Mi aiutate a tradurre che dire di non aver capito nulla è restrittivo.

Non conosco così bene l'architettura.

In sostanza cosa dice di fare?

Ciao e grazie
Davide

Davide,

Also the normal function of
 slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slusb0
is to use /dev/slusb0  to dynamically create the true modem port
/dev/pts/N  , N some number
with  /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N
being a convient symbolic link to the /dev/pts/N
N may change during different bootups.  All of the /dev/slusbN ,
/dev/pts/N and /dev/ttySL0 are created in RAM space and disappear upon
shutdown.

The sl-modem-daemon package scripts should provide for /dev/slusb0
creation automatically.

The first function test to try after a succcessfull creation of
  /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/ptsN
is
# wvdialconf   /etc/wvdial.conf
which should find the modem by following /dev/ttySL0

For modems using  /dev/pts/N  ports,  there must be added to /etc/wvdial.conf
a line:
Carrier Check  =  no
and of course replacement of the <xxx> with your personal information.
